Is Daryl Hannah the reason behind Neil Young’s divorce?

When the news arrived in July that Neil Young and his wife, Pegi Young, were divorcing after 36 years, the big question was, of course, why?

Do we now have the answer? Is it Daryl Hannah?

Yahoo.com has some photos of activist/actress Hannah, 53, planting a smooch on the music legend’s 68-year-old sweet cheek while walking down the street in Thousand Oaks, Calif., on Tuesday.

They look happy.

Hannah gave him a kiss, held onto his wrist, and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked, according to the report. Young grinned.

There has been no comment from either camp.

But People reports that the two have been “dating for months,” quoting an unnamed insider, who adds that they haven’t really been hiding it. When Young was recording a new album a few weeks ago, Hannah was on Skypethe entire time, giving him feedback on every take. “He even told people in the studio she was his ‘girlfriend.’”

Meanwhile, Young pal David Crosby weighed in on the situation on Sunday in an interview with The Idaho Statesman, saying cryptically, “I happen to know that he’s hanging out with somebody that’s a purely poisonous predator now. And that’s karma. He’s gonna get hurt. But I understand why it happened. I’m just sad about it. I’m always sad when I see love get tossed in the gutter.”
